emacs-19.25-alpha-patch.README on gatekeeper.dec.com doesn't say who did
the update for 19.25. I hope whoever it is reads this group ...

Anyway, m/alpha.h unconditionally defines PURESIZE. It should only do
this if PURESIZE is not already defined -- I load extra standard
libraries into the binary, and thus must increase PURESIZE.

Out of curiousity, does anyone know why the Alpha requires a bigger
(approximately 2x) PURESIZE in the first place?
